I don't know. I tried to RTFM, but the manual was not at all
clear. That's why I asked.
Has anyone figured it out?
To disable the pop-up flash entirely and just use it as a wireless
controller, set option "29. Flash in Wireless Mode" to Off. That's how
I almost exclusively use it.
Assuming you are using P-TTL modes, if you crank the EV comp on the
remote (540FGZ) flash up to say +1, it will be a stop brighter than the
popup flash and the popup's light output will be reduced automatically.
If you want to reduce the light from the popup even more, I suggest
covering it with some neutral density material. I used an X-acto knife
on an old white 35mm film canister to cut a rectangle in it so it fits
over the popup and I use that for some diffusion and o/p reduction.
You'll also lose a stop or two by using one of those popup diffusers
made by Lumiquest or a couple of others.
